One of the best parts about 2024's mushroom festival jaunt was running into Max of @wumbogenetics at the @farwestfungievents and the @okmushroomfestival ... Max is on a mission from fungi, dedicated to perpetually developing a suite of myco-products, refining a variety of lab processes and protocols as well building connections in the cultivation community. The hustle it takes to get into any specialization of the fungi industry is an intense one and Max is carving a multitude of pathways in directions directly connected to his curiosities; from myco-papers to vegan Japanese mushroom dishes and every microscopy angle accessible, Wumbo Genetics is keeping it fresh and exciting. Check him out and follow his work HERE!

Dr. Sara Webb: Mycelium In Microgravity
The last thing I thought we'd be involved in when I first started cultivated mushrooms was sending phenotypes to space! If I step back and assess how we got here it absolutely blows my mind. Many mushrooms farmers, many entrepreneurs in general, have a solid sense of imposter syndrome...but here we are, It's 2024 and we are awaiting the arrival of three commercial mushroom phenotypes after a trip to the extraterrestrial space above our mighty green planet. For a couple of months now these phenotypes have hitched a ride on the ISS up there in the void and soon they return for laboratory investigation. Dr. Sara Webb is the amazing astrophysicist who got this project rolling by working with students to define and get a project off the ground, literally, and into space. While many questions still remain as to what will be discovered by bringing these organisms into and out of orbit, there is hope that fungi can be used in many different facets of space exploration, from food to building materials and everywhere in between. For all the footage from this project and conversation head on over to MycoWizards.com and check out all the great work Sara is up to at sarawebbscience.com
